Bored, bored, bored

Ya know, the problem with meeting a writing quota is that when you do it, you've got nothing to occupy your mind for the rest of the evening.

Did I schedule a date?

I did not.

Is there anyone local suitable for a booty call?

There is not.

Again I weep.

That buzzing sound you hear is a vibrator. Now if only my ex roommate hadn't taken all the good pornos. Depressing, I tell you, depressing!

Alll Gods Are Bastards!

Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards'.

-- Terry Pratchett, The Color of Magic

I'm arguing with my committee right now about the title of my thesis. I want to call it All Gods are Bastards: The war between religion and spirituality in America.

You see, when you study it, you'll notice that like bastard children, the Gods themselves (in the various myths) tend to move outside of Law and Society. The rules don't apply to them so much, and I see an increasing tendency on the part of those in the US with religion to fall either on the side of Religion (Law) or Spirituality (Outside Law).

'Course they're hung up on the word "bastard". I don't get it. Do a search on thesis titles and you get some of the most amazing stuff.

I weep.

Smutty Story

Well, I did write that smutty story, after all.

Nice femme domme piece from the POV of a male sub. It got me all hot and bothered writing it , which is, I suppose the point!

Comma

I was working on the proof of one of my poems all the morning, and took out a comma. In the afternoon I put it back again.

-- Oscar Wilde

That was my writing day, yesterday.

Screw it, I'm spending today writing a smutty story, so nya, nya, nya.

Can't Academia be Sexy?

Dragged my behind up far, far too early on a weekend morning, and am blogging rather than working on my thesis. Shame on me. Bad Grad Student, no Ramen.

I really wish I could get away with writing something licentious. Not that I'd really want to get my committee all hot and bothered, but writing erotica is so much more fun! Anyone who has piled it higher and deep have any ideas on how to slip something sexy by without having to do a million re-writes?
